We aim for the absolute best results in reconditioning the paint surface to perfectly suit the vehicles needs. A vehicle only has so much paint to work with in it’s indefinite life. Note: (especially important for rare, classics and exotics vehicles) To leave enough paint for the vehicle to have a long lasting future.

Not all the time do we see 100% perfect vehicle going out the door. (unless brand new or freshly painted) Most all vehicles are subjected to “wear and tear” leaving permanent damage to the paint work UN-fixable through machine polishing. (rock-chips etc.)

Serious defects would include orange-peel, runs, fish-eyes, etching, pitting, solvent-pop and oxidation. More exacting attention to these locations will be needed and can be repaired through wet-sanding most of the time.

It’s a Brand-New Car?

Vehicles, even at the very high-end, undergo a build process, followed by the ordeal of transportation to the dealer. Once there, they often sit on lots or showroom floors and are frequently subjected to impromptu wipes and improperly executed washes, to say nothing of the local weather, itself – all without ever having been properly protected.

Once you’ve taken delivery of your new automotive investment, the very best way to secure it is with a professional detailing – because “new” doesn’t necessarily equate to “right”.

New Car Prep for Exotics

Most exotics are factory wet-sanded as a matter of course during the production process. Ninety percent of the time there will be at least a few D/A wet-sanding swirls remaining in the paint. Paint Correction and proper leveling are required to address those problem areas.

Carbon-fiber is fundamentally different from other automotive materials, both in composition and properties, and must be handled differently during the Paint Correction process. Painted and raw carbon have varying reactions to the polishing process, as do Kevlar and carbon-Kevlar – and all must be treated appropriately.

When The Details Matter!

Every exotic owner knows that these beautiful vehicles are designed and extremely well-crafted for maximum aerodynamics and performance. Materials science has always played a significant part in this process and, in recent years, carbon-fiber has seen ever-increasing utilization for its weight-saving and strength benefits.

I’ve known Brian all his life! I remember when he got his first car! He wasn’t even old enough to drive but he was getting close. He spent more hours than anyone could imagine in that car. He has had a love and endless desire to be around cars his whole life. When he first started detailing cars I thought well that’s a good match. I have seen him evolve into a master at his passion! His attention to detail has exceeded my expectations and blown away any idea of how to detail a car that I ever had. He makes the car better than it was the day you bought! Brian is a father of 3 boys and married to an awesome young lady! He gives his all to his family and he gives his all to his customers! He is a role model! I have the greatest admiration and respect for him! If you want your car to look it’s best you need to bring it to Brian! Brian also knows who the other expects in the business are! If you need a detailer near you Brian can get you to them!

Brian,

Great story and inspiring, truly. It is a tell tale of describing an individual that is passionate about his desires and puts forth the needed effort to reach his own goals. Proud of you and you ought to be incredibly proud of yourself for your journey and smart business moves that showed risk but you stuck with your instinct and it worked in the end. Congratulations and I truly admire you along with the other professional detailing authors on this site. Keep posting these detailed write ups, I thoroughly enjoy reading them. It helps me with my business. I see very many similarities between my work ethic and the experiences I deal with and yours.

I couldn’t agree more with the continual learning process this industry allows for. That’s what keeps it intriguing and challenging, as you said.

You guys answer so MANY questions I have as clients come to me. And questions that I project I will arise in the future with upcoming projects. You guys as a group do a wonderful job and I want to thank you for that. I don’t look upon your guys’ expertise lightly, it’s truly a wonderful art involved with it. So from me and many others I want to say thank you for the time you guys out into this section and keep it coming! You guys provide me with the goal of whom I desire to become one day professionally in the detail scene, locally or wherever my incremental growth takes me!

Brian has been a long term tester of this wax since it’s first ‘Beta’ pot was created 3 years ago. His feedback has helped improve the formulation to what it is today. For that, Swissvax USA would like to thank Brian for his continued support and help throughout the years.

As a fellow detailing business owner I had the pleasure of meeting Brian at a conference in Florida and was immediately impressed by his character and the quality of his work. It was purely by coincidence that I got a call this weekend from my sister who was vacationing in Orlando that one of her children had been sick in her her van on the trip down and I knew just whom to call. Brian was gracious enough to accommodate me and got right on the job after I put my sister in touch with him. I received this message from my sister after Brian completed his work: “Brian is just finishing up. He is so nice and did such an awesome job!”. I think that pretty much says it all. Highly recommended for not only the high quality of his work but more importantly the high quality of his character. Thanks for taking care of my sister Brian! Scotty
